Is there a way to hide metadata like the name of software/application that produced a pdf?

Question

When exporting a pdf with InDesign or Illustrator, the file includes metadata like the name of the software that was used to generate it.
I would like to know if it is possible to hide or edit the metadata included in the exported pdf file ?

Thanks

In Acrobat...

Tools > Protection > Sanitize Document will remove metadata such as creation software, dates, etc.

Before...

After...

You can also use the Remove Hidden Information option under the Tools > Protection menu.

Without Acrobat.. I have no idea.
